Another trip through London.  Whooo-Hoooo.  It wasn't a bad flight except for the poor little girl that was waiting for someone to get out of the bathroom and threw up over my feet. Shocked

Flew out of Luanda at midnight last night and arrived at the hotel in London about 9:30 this morning.  Threw the bags in the room and took a double decker London bus to the London Motor Musuem.



There was some cool autos there.  Like the pair of Porches - a Speedster and a Spyder when you first walked in and a neat '34.



There was also a very cool Challenger.



A couple of neat cars, but if you come to London, it is more like going to a garage - cars are not washed and have lemon peel on the paint and the cars are not 100% restored - like I said, more like walking around somebody's garage or something and not worth the £10 they charge to get in.

So, after I threw the £10 ID band in the garbage can, I took the bus back to Central Station and took the tube to Central London.  Got off in Covent Garden and went to the Nags Head Pub.  There has been a public house called the Nag's Head at this spot since 1670.



For my search for the ultimate Fish and Chips.  This one wasn't bad....



Then back on the tube and off near the British Musuem for another tour of it.



I know that this is not my last trip here - there is just so much to see.






I mean the statues, the coins, the swords, the mummies.....



Everywhere you look.  There are wax impressions of the death mask of Cromwell.



All kind of pure NEATNESS and COOLNESS in that place.  This is my second time through it but it won't be my last - still too much to see.



Then tubed it back to Heathrow and bused it back to the hotel for the evening and some Chicken Tikka Massala with pudding and ice cream....



Back to the airport tomorrow and across the BIG POND to home.  Boy oh boy!!!!

Gonna run over and visit with Hard6 sometime soon and get some skins put on Traveler....

Lived through another tour of Africa and now......

IT'S HOME TIME BABY!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see the pictures of the Whiskey Run....

OH YEAH BABY!

Oh yeah, I gotta get me some of these horns for my helmet - are these made for a dragon rider or what?!?!

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...
